If you’re making a change to BP_Groups_Groups:get_active(), I would recommend doing what Rich says and coding an alternative group get function by filtering “groups_get_groups” (available in the groups_get_groups() function in bp-groups.php).

That way, you won’t have to hack the bp-groups-classes.php file in the future. It is more work, but it’s up to you.
